Desslock Talks Numbers

This week, Desslock has written up an article that once again speaks very well of Sirtech’s Wizardry 8, and even gives us a closer look at the RPGs that have been available this year, in sales figures. Here is the breakdown of how many of each RPG was sold in the US this year from February (or the release date for the game) to November 7th:

Diablo 2: Lords of Destruction 576,143 copies
Diablo 2 306,422 copies
Dark Age of Camelot 115,894
Baldur’s Gate 2 103,144
EverQuest Kunark 92,172
Baldur’s Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal 85,451
Baldur’s Gate 1 83,208
Arcanum 69,522
Pool of Radiance – Ruins of MD 55,211
EverQuest Velious 66,496
Anarchy Online 47,356

It really takes me by surprise to see that Diablo II has almost tripled the sales of some of the other top RPGs, even though it has been out since the summer of 2000. Crazy.
